[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn't forcing people to do this also be a micro-aggression?

I will never understand this sort of thing.  Many of us don't even use email signature files at work.[/quote]

Following standards is not a micro-aggression.

Thank you. [/quote]

It actually is when you are forcing me to either out myself or misgender myself.    I have zero interest in sharing my pronouns at work. Noone needs to know I'm a "they."   [/quote]

The thing is, none of these people actually care about you and how forcing you to gender yourself in every email may make you feel. They enjoy the performance and drama of it all. They’re not doing it for you, they’re doing it for them. For some reason, it makes them feel better about themselves.

I’m one of the posters who is often misgendered because I have an androgynous name. I would never correct someone who is assuming I’m a white male at work, for obvious reasons, but I also am not going to blast my politics all over my signature block, for even more obvious reasons. Whether we like it or not, conservative males are provided endless privelege and respect. Why would I deny myself that same privilege on the occasion it’s provided to me?[/quote]
